We live in an environment where there is a "violence of disorder" because we have abandoned truth. And hatred of truth leads to violence. It is the very root of violence. Jesus said to the Pharisees, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own account, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me." (John 8: 42-45).
It is rejection of truth which leads to violence. And so we read in verse 59 of the same Chapter, "So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple." If there is exaggerated rhetoric and violence across our society, it is because many have rejected God's created order. But there is a consequence to this rejection of truth.
As Dorothy Sayers reminded us, if we will not have Christ, we will have chaos. And chaos has arrived across our culture hasn't it?
And so has violence. Readers of this Blog know that when I stood up against liturgical abuse at Our Lady Immaculate Parish in Athol, as well as an attempt to pattern the parish after the radical Paulist Center in Boston with its homosexual agitprop, not to mention the promotion of a false irenicism, I was banned from the parish Facebook page and ostracized. One woman indicated that she would like to physically assault me. See here.
Because of my orthodoxy, I have been greeted with only hostility whenever I have attended Mass at the parish. On the last two occasions, I returned to my vehicle only to find that someone had tampered with my tires, deflating them. This never occurs at any other time during the week or when I attend Mass elsewhere. I drive a newer model car with Firestone tires less than two years old. The tires only lose pressure when I attend Mass at Our Lady Immaculate.
Driving at highway speeds with seriously underinflated tires not only compromises your handling, but increases the chances of an accident or rollover, because underinflated tires tend to overheat, and overheated tires explode.
Does someone at Our Lady Immaculate Parish in Athol have such a hatred toward me that they would like to cause me grave bodily harm? Or kill me?
Absolutely sick. If somebody is attempting to hurt you for upholding and defending Church teaching, that is demonic.
ReplyDeleteThe persecution is intensifying now. After the Synod in October, things will grow much darker. And when the dark man exalts himself, the persecution will become bloody.

Landsakes, Paulie Dear! You sound like a mentally deranged wacko!
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of an extended stay at Maclean Hospital in Belmont? Why, with all the other nutcases there, you'll fit right in.
Hilarious!
P.S. If someone at OLI is trying to "harm" you, why don't you visit the police dept in Athol and file a report. Should be good for laffs.
Seems obvious. If you had an issue with one or more of your tires, they wouldn't deflate only at OLI. Let's pray for the sick person who is doing this. Most likely the unstable individual who left a mocking comment here.
ReplyDelete"Landsakes" is an expression used by older people typically. Anyone know someone at OLI who uses that term?
Hey anonymous, why not use your real name? Based on your comment, YOU come across as unstable. What's your agenda here? Since you find this so amusing, why don't you reveal your ididentity? You know full well that filing a police report without a witness would be pointless. Why don't you come forward and admit your involvement?
ReplyDeleteAre you the one tampering with Mr. Melanson's car? Or are you encouraging somebody else? Don't hide behind an anonymous identity. Be a man. Tell us who you are.
Landsakes? If memory serves, Deacon Linderman uses this as a catchphrase. Paul, the reason so many, including clerics, hate you for opposing the homosexual agenda, is that they are engaging in the lifestyle and sodomizing one another. They know such conduct merits Hell and they hate you for reminding them of that fact.
ReplyDeleteThey are lost souls.
A diabolical disorientation has spread everywhere.

Defending the Truth in these days means "martyrdom", you don't need to be physically killed to be a "martyr". I'll keep praying for you Paul and for all the true apostles and disciples of the true Christ. I've been there for defending the TRUTH, but that's why the Lord called us to work for him. Be very thankful not to be a priest yet, but I'm 100% sure you will be one, once the Church is cleansed and purified. We can only pray and offer our pains and sufferings for those misled souls. Of course we all have a free will : " you either are with ME or against ME, says the Lord."
ReplyDeleteSo mister anonymous wacko watch your language and miss feminist if you want to punch somebody you'd better become a boxer.

OLI is dying. There is no love there. And without love, a parish cannot survive.
